Former United States Navy Veteran, Certified National
Recruiter, and Commander of the Elm Grove Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars
Vernon Anderson told Breitbart News exclusively that the Department of Veteran’s Affairs’ Gun Lock push is
“another Obama back door gun control measure.”

According to an earlier NPR
report noting veteran suicide statistics, “The VA is trying to help with a
program that offers gun locks to veterans for free. The thinking is that if
they lock their guns up they might not reach for them in the spur of the
moment.”

But many critics argue this is a government form used to get
veterans to identify if they own a firearm, creating a federal registry.
Anderson supplied three letters he received in a packet from the VA. One is
titled “Veterans Crisis Line Public Fact Sheet” detailing the VA help line.
Another document is a gun safety pamphlet, providing gun safety facts and
statistics. The third document is a lock order form to be returned to the VA
once it is completed with paid postage supplied by the VA. It requires the
veteran’s name, address and exact number of gunlocks needed.

Bullets First
Blogger Tony Oliva wrote earlier this year that a letter was sent out to
veterans stating:

“As your partner in healthcare, we are committed to keeping
you and your family safe. Gun locks have been shown to greatly reduce death and
injury caused by firearms in the home. If you own a gun, we hope you will
request and use a gun lock.”

Oliva mocked, “That’s right. “Just give us all the
information we want about your guns and we will give you a shiny new gun lock
for each of them… so it will be harder for you to get to them when we
storm your house in the middle of the night to take them.” Oliva writes

Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing inherently evil about
gun locks if you have kids in your household and whatnot but let’s not pretend
that this isn’t a blatant attempt to get firearm information of people that
this administration views as a threat. If the VA was REALLY interested in
handing out safety locks, they would make the locks available at VA offices,
hospitals and clinics for vets to come in and take a couple without having to
forfeit their privacy to their ever invasive eye of the government.

Oliva is calling for the veterans to take a pass on this
offer.

U.S. Navy Veteran Vernon Anderson echoes Oliva’s concerns.

As a commander of the Elm Grove Memorial VFW Post 4442, he
oversees 10 offices in the VFW. “So, I have some knowledge of what is going on
with the Veterans Administration and our Veterans,” he exclusively told
Breitbart News.

“I do not feel the Veterans Administrationshould be spending our taxpayer dollars sending these kinds of
letters to our Veterans. The VA has a finite budget and they should be using
all their resources to do the job Congress has assigned to them,” Anderson said.

Anderson told Breitbart News, the federal government is also
potentially targeting veterans who are suffering from PTSD.

“If these Veterans say the wrong thing when visiting the VA
the VA then turns that information over to the FBI and the information is
entered into the National Instant Check System. This is the background system
which is used whenever a person purchases a firearm. The Veteran doesn’t find
out about this until the next time they attempt to purchase a firearm,”
explained Anderson.

“I do not like what is happening. But I especially do not
think the VA should be doing this with tax payer money,” he said. “This is
not one of the functions the VA has been assigned. This is another Obama back
door gun control measure.”

Breitbart News reached out to the Department of Veterans
Affairs but has not yet received comment on this issue.

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."- St. Augustine

"A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous, and then dismissed as trivial, until finally it becomes what everybody knows." -

William James

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley, Jr.

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis
